Description
And completed, after about... I don't know. Not as long as Sanctuary took, but it was quite long. Maybe six or seven hours, and several tutorials (I feel the urge to sniper the people who made them. It seems so easy until you actually try it.) Titled Experiment because it IS one... I needed some practice so I could paint the elementals properly. That is one project that's going to be gruelling... and I'm not even going to paint all of them.So yeah. This one's completed, I think.
*tired little smile*
I wanted to add more highlights and shadowing to emphasize where the light's coming from, but you know what?
I just couldn't be bothered.

I think it's very good. I'd probably make the shadow underneath her chin and on her neck bigger & darker (I learned not to be afraid of shadows), and perhaps her eye looks too high (aren't eyes supposed to be right in the middle of the head?), and the nose too low (but I'm just referring to the average person's face anyway), and that's the end of my complaining.
The hair looks good too, but again, me likes strong contrast. (Oh wait -- I guess that wasn't the end of my complaining.

Woah. O__O I was just looking through your gallery and I saw this... it, like, rocks. Loads. I think I've seen it before, maybe on NTWF or something, but it's great- very lifelike.

oooh... very pretty, yes. I love the eye, especially. The only thing that bothers me is that the nose seems to be too low.

I'm going to complain about the hair. Did you really have to make it so realistic? Heck, even I don't have hair sticking out over my face. And your uh, highlights make her look like she's bleached some sections of her hair halfway from the scalp, and some sections look like she dyed them the wrong colour...
Not going to get on about the facial structure, I think I already did that in school.
Her eye looks a tad clouded over now, though. T'was shinier on the school screen.

That's only cause your hair is gelled to your head by large amounts of oil. 
I clouded over her eye while trying to work on the iris. In the end, the iris died and so did the shininess.

I wasn't talking about my Iraq-worthy scalp, thanks. I was just saying that's some unbelievable amount of frizz she's got. Over-realistic, if you get my drift.
Couldn't you undo the clouding over? It looked pretty alright on the WIP shot.

She looks pretty sexy to me. I think you probably notice the proportions the most because your the one who drew it but I think it looks awsome .
Oh yeah down with online tutorials.

The angle of the jaw (from chin to nose) seems a bit steep, to me. But that skin tone is amazing! And her eyes and hair are sooooo gorgeous. Great work!

The colouring on the hair and skin is beautiful! And the eye is fantastic^^

HOSHIT. That's....
*dies from the amazingness of it*
THAT'S FREEKING GOOD! Holy crap, I could never do that.

Yeah, it does look easy in tutorials...but it's all so hard when you actually do it. It's just practice...and practice....
The blending is awesome. The only thing that stands out to me is her nose and chin. It isn't placed quite right...though, it could be a style, but I am entitled to my opinion. XD;
the hair is gorgeous though <3

No, both the nose and chin (and lips) are rather unproportionately placed. I noticed it only after I was halfway done, though.
